'Sexually inappropriate' and 'aggressive' Gino D'Acampo ' said and did whatever he wanted' while working for ITV - as his alleged victims today insisted they were 'too afraid' to make complaints at the time.
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] footage of Gino D'Acampo joking about Holly Willoughby's genitals has resurfaced as he faces allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour.
Gino first joked that her bellybutton was Rome before Phillip Schofield jumped in and remarked: 'I'm very concerned if he's going to talk about Sicily here.' 'But I went to school where Vesuvius is. It's more inland so I can technically say I spent my youth training and playing around... your vagina.'But Gino insisted: 'There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a word that everybody knows.'
It comes as the Italian celebrity chef, 48, has been rocked by multiple allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour over a 12-year period - claims which he denies Hannah said the incident left her feeling 'horror' and 'shock' but admitted she was not surprised no one intervened.His legal team said: 'This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now via a media request, been raised or put to Mr D'Acampo. He does not recall it, nor accept that it happened.'
Gino's legal team strongly refuted this version of events, stating: 'To his knowledge, no such allegations have been made against him in relation to 'Gino's Italian Express'. It has since emerged that ITV have pulled Gino D'Acampo's latest Italian odyssey show from its upcoming schedules , MailOnline can reveal on Friday
One woman who worked on Gino's Italian Express told ITV News: 'His 'cheeky chappy' persona allows him to hide in plain sight. If I see him on TV, I have to leave the room.' In response, the company admitted that he was 'spoken to' about his off-screen conduct and 'bespoke training' was provided.
